Death Stranding | A Kojima Productions Game |

Anyone got a tl;dr on the Kojima/Konami split? I don't know anything about it.

Pretty sure it was because Kojima spent way too much money making MGSV and was very much inclined to do things his own way rather than listen to anything Konami had to say. That, and the fact that Konami isn't that interested in video games anymore (as opposed to Pachinko) meant Kojima had to go. As such, MGSV was shipped unfinished and Silent Hills was cancelled all together.

Not really sure what I think of this new game yet. Not much to go off based on the trailer. I haven't been a fan of Kojimas recent output at any rate (with the exception of PT) so I'll wait until we see some gameplay before I make any judgement.

Thanks. Kojima's been criticised for his inept storytelling ability, if you believe Youtuber Razorfist (who cites people in Konami's employ).

The only bit of information that is important in that video is the revelation that he hasn't even settled on a game engine for this game yet. We should start taking bets on how many years away this game is from being released, I reckon 2020 at the earliest, though seeing as he will be using someone elses game engine instead of making his own I suppose it could speed things up, so 2019 might be a possibility, but nah, being Kojima I reckon he'd like the symbolism of releasing a game in the year 2020, don't know why, just reckon he would.

I didn't notice this before, but these are the first 'Ludens' images released a month or 2 ago. The eyes are totally Reedus, with the side profile / grey sky background image matching his stance in the Death Stranding images.

'I'll keep coming' being the name of the Low Roar song played in the DS trailer.
There are theories going around based on the 0 album (Low Roar, released 2014) it might suggest hints via the cover and the song titles of some of Kojimas upcoming work.

Kojima has stated that DS doesn't yet have a release date but 'the game has started' so looks like there may be deliberate hints or clues being left out for us to mull over.

I mean, after NMS you'd think they'd be a bit more hesitant to start hyping this sort of shit again, without any actual in-game footage. I guess he's at least not promising the universe to people while doing it, but I almost find this kind of absurd teasing nonsense even worse.
